The Sentinel

Our Sentinel loco 9559 of 1953 arrived at Marley Hill as No.4 along with No.3 from RY Pickering in 1979.   Such Sentinels of 1940s design competed with diesels for economy of fuel, manning & maintenance, with rapid steaming.   Locally, 100hp Sentinels worked at Dunston & Stella North power station (9597), Shorts Sunderland shipyard (9563), & sister loco 9558 at Armstrongs steel mills, Gateshead & Jarrow.   There were 200hp Sentinels at Derwenthaugh (9581/3/4) & Seaham (9575, 9618/9).

Pictured is similar Sentinel steamer 9536 as rebuilt, not 9559.
9559 was built for Rugby Portland Cement at Totternhoe in 1953,
moving to their New Bilton plant in September 1964,
& to the dealer Thomas Hill in April 1967.
